That's true i guess, but with the corvette on the carrier side of the jump point, its highly unlikely to get pasted, even it were then the carrier could jump through recover its fighters, if there are any to be recovered, and jump back again. Or not, as Tolwyn would say, a carrier is more...

You're right, i borrowed the novel, and just read that. Its a corvette i think that opens a rift or tear in a jumpoint that allows small ships to jump without having to rely on Jump engines. I wonder why they never expanded on that. You could do a magnum launch without having to risk your...

Is it really an evil ending? I had the impression that, it wasn't all that evil. Its just that by making the tactical decisions rather than the humanitarian ones, you get a posting within the confleet higher ranks, away from all the action. Hence the staring out into space whistfully. like...
